🎉 Congratulations to Miru Eum for receiving the 2024 EARCOS Global Citizenship Award! Miru led transformative art therapy sessions at Busan’s largest hospital, where the patients’ inspiring creations culminated in a beautiful exhibition displayed in the hospital lobby. But Miru’s journey doesn’t end there—her passion for art has taken her to Mongolia and Cambodia, where she revitalized urban spaces with stunning murals, breathing life and color into cityscapes. As she looks ahead to studying creative arts at university, we can’t wait to see the impact of her future creations! 🎓🌟 #GlobalCitizen #BFSSharks #Congratulations #EARCOS #MakingADifference

In our K-8 Spanish class, we celebrated Día de Muertos by building a vibrant altar with personalized ofrendas—flowers, candles, photos, and more—to honor loved ones. Students explored the history, crafted unique elements, learned about inspiring Hispanic figures, and even tasted traditional pan de muerto! This hands-on project deepened our understanding and appreciation of this beautiful cultural tradition. 💀✨
